The Bayer process is an industrial process of refining bauxite as well as producing aluminium oxide. This is widely used to produce alumina, accounting for 95% of alumina production. Raw bauxite and caustic liquor are mixed together in the presence of lime to complete the pre-desilication stage by maintaining the temperature of the mixture …

Typically, the Bayer process produces smelter-grade alumina of 99.5% Al2O3, starting from bauxite containing 30% to 60% Al2O3. The main objective of the Bayer process is to extract the maximum amount of aluminum from the bauxite at as high an aluminate concentration in solution as possible, while limiting any troublesome side reactions.

Needless to say, the parameters corresponding to the bauxite being considered as feed to a new alumina refinery needs to be determined by laboratory testing based on samples obtained during exploration of the bauxite deposit. To process the bauxite, the bauxite must be mined, crushed, and delivered to the refinery.

Mined bauxite ore is refined into alumina through what is known as the Bayer process. The process, discovered in 1887, extracts alumina from bauxite through crushing, dissolving it in caustic soda, filtration and an electrolytic process. Alumina is a white powder, appearing similar to table salt, which can then be smelted into aluminium metal.

The Bayer process: How alumina is produced from bauxite. The Bayer process is carried out in four steps. First, after the bauxite is crushed, washed and dried, it is dissolved with caustic soda at high temperatures. Next, the mixture is filtered to remove the impurities, called "red mud," which is properly discarded.

The first commercial extraction of alumina (Al 2 O 3) from bauxite has been attributed to Henri Sainte-Claire Deville in about 1854.. Soon after this, in 1888, Karl Joseph Bayer described what is now known as the Bayer Process, which led to a dramatic reduction in the cost of aluminum metal.
